What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Omaha, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Sep 4, 2:59 PM CDT, 3 hours 12 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 4, 2:59 PM CDT, 3 hours 12 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
259 PM CDT TUE SEP 4 2012

.DISCUSSION...

SEVERAL WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARIES IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION AT
19Z PRIMARILY WEST AND NORTH OF THE AREA. NORTHERN BOUNDARY
EXTENDS FROM CENTRAL MINNESOTA INTO NORTHWEST IOWA AND EXTREME
NORTHEAST NEBRASKA. STRONGER UPPER WAVE STILL WELL TO THE
NORTHWEST JUST COMING INTO MONTANA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.

MAIN CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM WILL BE TIMING AND LOCATION OF
CONVECTIVE INITIATION. BEST TRIGGER LOOKS TO BE 850MB FRONT
AS IT PUSHES INTO CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA AND CENTRAL NEBRASKA
TOWARD 00Z. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST LIMITED MOISTURE THROUGH
THE MID LEVELS ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON HOWEVER AREA OF
MOISTURE ADVECTION AND MID LEVEL INSTABILITY COME TOGETHER OVER
EASTERN NEBRASKA AND NORTHERN IOWA BETWEEN 22Z-02Z THEN SHIFTS
EAST OF THE AREA AFTER 06Z WITH PASSAGE OF SURFACE AND 850 FRONTS.

DRY AND COOLER WEATHER FOLLOWS BEHIND THE FRONT WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY WITH A SECOND STRONG UPPER WAVE AND COLD FRONT MOVING
ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THIS SYSTEM LOOKS
LIKE IT COULD BRING A GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN TO MUCH OF THE AREA
ALONG WITH EVEN COOLER TEMPERATURES.

TREND TOWARD COOLER TEMPERATURES EXTENDS INTO THE EARLY PART OF
THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH A DEEP TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE EASTERN
CONUS. GFS AND EURO DIFFER IN THERE SOLUTIONS BEYOND SATURDAY WITH
THE EURO SHOWING STRONGER RIDGING DEVELOPING OVER THE WEST BEFORE
FLOW FLATTENS AGAIN LATE IN THE PERIOD. STAYED WITH DRY FORECAST
FOR NOW WITH GRADUAL WARMING DURING THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAFS FOR KOMA...KLNK AND KOFK.

PRIMARY CONCERN WILL BE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS AS A FRONT
LIFTS THROUGH THE REGION. BELIEVE BEST CHANCE WOULD AT 21-23Z AT
KLNK...AND 23-02Z AT KOFK AND KOMA. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED UNTIL THEN WITH MID BASED CUMULUS CLOUDS EITHER MOVING IN
OR DEVELOPING AROUND 6000-8000 FEET. SECONDARY CONCERN IS THE
PLACEMENT OF A STRONG COLD FRONT SWEEPING FROM NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT WITH AN ABRUPT WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH
NORTHWEST AND SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN SPEEDS BEHIND THE FRONT WITH
WINDS 15 TO 25 KNOTS. INITIAL FORECAST PUTS THIS FRONT IN THE KOFK
VICINITY BY ABOUT 11Z...AND KLNK/KOMA BY ABOUT 13Z.
